Day 8: Pet Peeves – 31 Day Blog Challenge

Okay...so this is only the 2nd challenge I've done. Oops. :)

Fabulous Finds by Tiffany- 31 Day Blog Challenge

A few of my pet peeves-

• when one of my children taps my arm to get my attention. You know, that annoying, rapid "poke, poke, poke". Really sweetie...just say, "Mama?" and wait for me to respond. :)
  
• when the boys leave drips on the toilet...or worse, the other stuff. Eww! I mean, come on! How hard is it to go IN the toilet? Lol.
  
• a toddler's scream. It can be quite ear-piercing and relentless. And annoying. Like finger nails on a chalkboard.
  
• being asked the same question over and over and over and....
  
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I get sick and tired of it. Of being so tired I can barely lift my arms. Waking up tired after obviously sleeping what should have been long enough. Looking at my house falling apart during a flare up. 

Now, a few things I love (to end on a positive note!)-

•   a baby's laugh
  
• "I love you, Mama."
  
• "The house looks good, Babes!" (during those CFS-calm days)
  
• DH cooking meals for me when I am too tired. And him not being annoyed at the messy house. He's just great!
  
• The look of joy in my baby's eyes as the rest of us cheer her on while she is learning to stand on her own. Priceless!

Best Childhood Memory

Today I'm going to try one of the 31 Day Blog Challenges by Fabulous Finds by Tiffany. I'm a little late in the game, but I'll just pull a Flylady (my hero btw!) and jump in where they are! :-)

So, one of my favorite childhood memories is going ice fishing with my dad. I remember the anticipation as we sat around the holes waiting and watching for the tip up flag to get sprung. And of course, the mad dash to reach the hole first! Those pikes were big though, so a lot of the time Dad had to help us kids pull them in. Wow! What a rush!

I'll never forget it!

What about you? Any favorite memories?
